I've said it before... MY LITTLE LOVE BUGS!!!

Here are some really sweet pictures of Gabe and Neely!  He was being so sweet with her.  He is really a great big brother.  I don't know if it's because he LOVES her or he LOVES the gummy bears he gets when he sits still so I can get at least one picture of them together!  I'm going to tell myself that it's because he loves her.  Isn't she getting so big?!?!  She is such a happy baby!  She actually LOVES her big brother.  She loves to watch him.  She just sits and laughs at him making silly faces and singing Jesus Loves Me to her.  Thank GOD for giving us such wonderful gifts!!!

My funny little boy

The other morning I hear Gabe yell, "Mommy, I'm hiding come and find me!"...so I do what any good mother does, goes and looks for her favorite 2 year old.  Well, here is how I found him!  He is so cute and even if he makes me want to pull my hair out I LOVE HIM!!!

Neely is FIVE MONTHS OLD!!!

Where does time go?  I can't believe that Neely is 5 months old.  She is getting so big.  She has started eating green beans.  At first she made the funniest faces, but now she's getting use to the new flavor...I think that she's actually starting to like them!  She's also sleeping through the night, my choice.  I decided Sunday night that it's time for her to cut out her middle of the night feeding. Sunday it was tough, but since then she's been great.  Thank goodness for a semi-full night sleep!!

Lets Play Catch Up!!!

I'm sorry that it's been so long since my last post...it's been CRAZY around here!  Let me start with a David update.  It's been 3 weeks ago today that David had his back surgery and he's doing MUCH better.  Recovery is taking longer than he had hoped, but everyday he is feeling better.  It's still hectic around here because he still can't really "do anything" for at least another 4 weeks.  But, at this point we're all just glad that he's getting back to his old self a little at a time!  Second let me tell you about Joni and Todd's trip to KC...we loved having them here.  I hope that they feel the same.  We didn't get to do as much fun things as we had planned, but we did get to go see the beloved RED SOX.  Unfortunately they lost to the Royals, but it was still a lot of fun.  During Joni and Todd's trip here my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, niece and nephew came from Hibbing to visit for a week.  We had a GREAT time!  I have to brag on how good Kaylee (my niece) is with Gabe!  He LOVES her soooooo much!  Don't get me wrong he loves Chris too, but he wanted Kaylee to be by his side the entire time she was here.  While they were here we went to Oceans of Fun.  We had a great time!  At first I was nervous that Gabe was going to wine the entire time, but after he figured out how much fun he could have he started to really enjoy it.  We ended up staying for SEVEN hours!!!!  So that is an update of our last couple of weeks.  I'm sorry for having taken so long to post new pictures so here are a few for you viewing pleasure!!
